Urgent Help Needed! MovieClip doesn't respond

programming flash
1

so, I had this problem since yesterday, and I can’t fix it:


i=4
loadMovie("wall_sample.swf", "lt"+i)

//the movie is loaded into the movieClip, but
//NONE of the following worked, the movieClip keeps playing

_root.lt4.stop()
_level0.lt4.stop()
tellTarget("lt4"){stop()}
with(lt4){stop()}

//however changing the movieClip's properties works fine (both ways)
_root.lt4._x=0
setProperty("_root.lt4", _y, 0)

can someone help me out? What’s wrong? Howcome I can’t evoke any functions within the loaded swf? Please help

try tracing the width, that will tell you more. You can change the location of a clip before it’s fully loaded, but you cant trace the size.

Maybe you need to slap that “stop()” stuff in an onLoad handler.

Edit: or even better, use MovieClipLoader

dude thank you soo much, it worked =)
(the mc didn’t fully load when the script was executed, I put the script within an onClipEvent(enterFrame) handler at the main timeline and it worked)

^^ yay
